Okay i finally done it, I turfed out windows, it wasnt easy but all my friends were constantly buggin me, and would offer no help along as i ran a win box, "all windows are good for is breaking" so now I have an issue, I dont even know where to begin, I have downloaded winex, figured that out, and I am running mandrake 10, but everything i ever thought I knew is no good now. So would someone help this guy out with his transistion, and assist me with a step by step guide so I can atleast play a game or two. I mean I know nothing

Welcome to TSG. Have you checked with the folks in the Linux/Unix section?

Generally winex is for gamers, so the best site is:

I am a happy member feeling the Linux power after paying MS 6 Xp licenses, as I am surfing this site by Knoppix 3.3 off a give-away disk from a magazine. Knoppix is operatinal with a CD but a member here gave out a site to tell how to install it on a hard disk. And I did it. So I may wander around here from time to time.

The Knoppix detects everything for me and I have two versions of Linux (the other one SLAX) power me to the Internet virtually in the first attempt. Great stuff even though I haven't got a clue what a kernel is.

well saikee.....sounds like you have everything under control.....

So far I am stunned by Linux (or Knoppix). Today is the first time I use it in anger, apart from testing the free CDs out after I bought the magazine.

It has been installed into a hard disk without any effort. I can click my previous word documents, Excel files, see and print photographs. What it really surprised was the Soffice gave me a full memnu of Excel that I can even try the Visual Basic. It even has my HP psc 950 printer driver and PDF file printer available. And all these years I thought Microsoft is the best thing since slice bread!

Is there a Fotran compiler somethere too?

Oblovious69,

Thanks for the site address. Looks like a good starting point.

try, from the terminal, apt-cache search fortran.
